I'm sorry, George, I have lots of zooms, but the only other Zuik zooms I
have are the 35-70/3.5-4.5 and the 75-150/4. I think I don't even have to
run some tests to proove that the 50-250 is better. You want a comparison
with the 65-200 and the 85-250, of course. Maybe I should fly over to Las
Vegas to have it tested... I "bet" mine wins :-)
I can't even answer the question how I like it, because I own this lens only
for a month or so, and there hasn't been a photo event where I needed it (I
was thinking of using it for stuff like daylight open air concerts, where
the slow speed doesn't matter). So it has been sitting on the shelf just as
if it were a collectors item :-)
